Hello,
I am a user of Amber6. For the last few days i have
been trying to EM my protein of interest molecule,
which has two ZN atoms. Since Amber doesn`t have the
ZN ff parameters, so i generated the parameter file,
and also made a prep.in file. I also described the
restype of prep input file as protein, but still when
i run xleap, it doesn`t reconizes ZN. Each time it
gives the error message that ZN does not have a type,
and the parameters file are not saved.
My prep input file
